Anas narrated:

"We used to hope that an intelligent Bedouin would show up to question the Prophet while we were with him. So one while we were with him, a Bedouin came, kneeling in front of the Prophet, and he said: 'O Muhammad, your messenger came to us and told us that you say that Allah sent you.' So the Prophet say: 'Yes.' He said, 'So, (swear) by the One who raised the heaves, and spread out the earth, and erected the mountains; has Allah sent you?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Yes.' He said: 'Your messenger told us that you say that there are five prayers required from us in a day and a night.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Yes.' He said, 'By the One Who sent you, has Allah ordered that you you?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Your messenger told us that you say that we are required to fast for a month out of the year.' He said, 'He told the truth.' He said, 'By the One Who sent you, has Allah ordered that you?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Your messenger told us that Zakat is required from our wealth.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'He told the truth.' He said, 'By the One Who sent you, has Allah ordered you that?' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Your messenger told us that you say that we are required to perform Hajj to Allah's House if able to undertake the journey.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Yes.' He said, 'By the One Who sent you, has Allah Commanded you that?' (The Prophet ﷺ said:) 'Yes.' So he said: 'By the One Who sent you with the Truth, I will not leave any of them, nor surpass them.' Then he got up quickly (leaving). The Prophet ﷺ said: 'If the Bedouin told the truth, then he will enter Paradise.'"
